There is no doubt Don Coryell has been overlooked by the Hall of Fame voters in the past. Coryell has left an indelible stamp on the league and it is time he is recognized.

Career (NFL) Highlights:111 winsFive first-place finishesTwo appearances in the AFC Conference ChampionshipPassing attack ranked No. 1 seven timesOriginated the "digit" play-calling system still used by many NFL teams

Dan Fouts on Coryell:"He contributed to the game of Pro Football, the way it is played today. He influenced offensive AND defensive football because if you are going to have 3 or 4 recievers out there you better have an answer for it on the other side of the ball. If it wasn't for Don, I wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame."

St. Louis Rams Head Coach Mike Martz on Coryell:"Don is the father of the modern passing game. People talk about the 'West Coast' offense, but Don started the 'West Coast' decades ago and kept updating it. You look around the NFL now, and so many teams are running a version of the Coryell offense. Coaches have added their own touches, but it's still Coryell's offense. He has disciples all over the league. He changed the game."

We as fans of the San Diego Chargers and the National Football League would like Don Coryell to be considered for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

14 November 2015489. Steve GFather of offensive footbal. too many understudies of Coryell in the HOF to ignore. Dont look at him as a coach that didnt win the superbowl but a man who shaped the entertainment value of the NLF .. people like OFFENSE and he brought it to this level in
